Maree Tippett

Director of Social Work Wellness Limited

Registered Social Worker

My career in Social Work has spanned almost 20 years. I love family and strive to provide a healthy work life balance while supporting an amazing team of Social Workers. My experience in social work includes working alongside people with addictions and mental health issues. I have worked in areas of chronic pain, with a year in the Burwood Pain Team facilitating group work and chronic pain assessments. I have also worked in the Burwood Spinal Unit for almost 10years before embarking on my own independent practice. Fieldwork tutoring and supervision with other social workers beginning their careers is also a part of my experience. My passion at present is variety. This includes a strong desire for social justice and equality for clients who are experiencing adversity through systems. Empowering people and families to help reduce social isolation and creating harmonious communities that care for one another in times of great challenges. A humanist and inclusive perspective embracing people without judgement and helping to create lasting healing and change.
